What guests say about the pool
In their own words
The zero gravity area of the spa's pool was the most relief to chronic back pain I've felt in years. It was wild - you basically have a shallow area with angled seats under the water that let you just float (not drift around) and every part of your body is freed from the torment of gravity.
